An Analysis of Louisiana

Louisiana's voters have increasingly leaned Republican in the decades since Bill Clinton won the state in 1992 and 1996. Nearly all of its congressional seats are occupied by Republicans, but Louisiana voters elected Democrat Mary Landrieu to the Senate in 2008, even as GOP presidential nominee John McCain won the state by nearly 20 percentage points. Landrieu is a key target for the GOP this year as it seeks to recapture the Senate.
